"All Day Smokes"

[cburke111]

i like to smoke dans old ironsides all day the key is to leave a few bowls out over night to dry out a bit

 

[ssjones]

Boswells "Magnum" blend for me.

Would someone please tell me what a straight VA is and who makes it. :?:

 

[pstlpkr]

If you really want a good Straight Virginia try:

Rattray's Hal O' the Wynd

It does have touch of Perique and maybe something else just to control the flavor.

But, you'll never know they were there.

Nothing short of "OMG this great!"
Another that has a Nic Kick that can give you a real case of the Spins... If you aren't careful.

And tastes absolutely wonderful...

Try:

G.L. Pease Haddo's Delight

If I was going to choose an all day smoke it would most probably be SG FVF or St James Flake.Evening times it would be Squadron Leader or Balkan Flage,both SG.

Middleton's Apple or Royal Comfort, 1Q, PS Optimum, or Half&Half ...right now I'm spending a lot of time with Lane's Smokers Pride Black Cavendish mixed equally with Half&Half. This has been an awesome smoke! The H&H ups the Nic and adds sweetness to the very mild vanilla and subtle nutty flavor of the SPBC. Plus the price is right! I plan on cellaring a bunch of this.

I bought a pond of Sterings bargin blend and thats what I doing for now.

Know it will change if I order some more. McClellends Am or The Virgina,which I have,

Is sweet and smooth

Only problem is I still haven't got the packing right. Hot Bowl.

I do tend to change my "all day smoke" fairly regularly. In this current cold weather, I am really enjoying Robert Lewis - Wingfield Mixture. It has a really full and interesting flavour without being too strong. One of the few blends I can smoke with my first cup of tea of the day.

@portascat - I have 1Q and BCA. Got the BCA to try. Just finished a bowl of it and again found it a bit tart or harsh. So appreciate the idea of blending it with 1Q. What ratio do you like?

 

[pipetrucker]

1Q, CBW, PA, Squadron Leader

 

[echopipe]

1Q for me too.. its a nice easy smoke. Always good. Love 7 seas too.

PS English Luxury and PS cube cut ::

I realize this is an old thread, but I wanted to second portascat's recommendation: a blend of 1Q and BCA. I tried this recently and enjoyed it. Yet (being the burley lover that I am), I wanted a bit more burley flavor. I had about 3 oz. of PS Cube Cut lying around; I was no longer smoking it due to the bite it gives me (when smoked alone). In to the mixing bowl it went!
So I have a good, basic everyday blend on hand when I want to lay off the more expensive stuff: equal parts 1Q, BCA, and PS CC (well, maybe a little more CC). Good stuff, and thanks to portascat for the idea.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

I did try the 1Q/BCA mix and it was rather good.
1Q is definitely a smoke anywhere any time all day long blend.

 

[sparrowhawk]

Molto Dolce mixed with CH. But I'm still experimenting and Lane 1Q will probably be the next.

For English blends it would have to be FMOTT, followed by Boswell Countryside. As for aros, my first choice is a blend from my local B&M called C. C. Cavendish. After that it would be Lane's 1Q followed by a blend of my own making which I call The Black Prince. It's a 50/50 mix of Prince Albert and Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish, although I'm sure that Lane BCA would work fine too.
